Further, as shown in
Optionally, as shown in
In Example 1, the battery 1011 can be a battery in the prior art, and the type thereof can be selected by one skilled in the art according to actual necessities and will not be limited here. For example, the battery 1011 can be a rechargeable or non-rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery, nickel-metal hydride battery, lithium-ion battery, or lead-acid battery.
The vibration switch module 1012 can be a switch in the prior art. For example, the vibration switch module 1012 can be a key switch, a touch switch or a film switch, and the type thereof can be selected by one skilled in the art according to actual necessities and will not be limited here. Since film switches are light, thin and flexible, which can increase the comfort of use, the vibration switch module 1012 is preferably a film switch.
Specifically, when the vibration switch module 1012 is turned on, the vibration switch module 1012 conducts the battery 1011 and the power management module 1013, and the battery 1011 provides electric energy to the power management module 1013 through the vibration switch module 1012; when the vibration switch module 1012 is turned off, the vibration switch module 1012 disconnects the battery 1011 from the power management module 1013, and the battery 1011 stops providing electric energy to the power management module 1013 through the vibration switch module 1012.
The function of the power management module 1013 is to convert the electric energy output by the battery 1011 through the vibration switch module 1012 into a voltage suitable for the driver module 102. Therefore, the power management module 1013 can be a power management chip in the prior art capable of converting the electric energy output by the battery 1011 through the vibration switch module 1012 into a voltage suitable for the driver module 102, which will not be limited here.
The driver module 102 can be a driver chip in the prior art, and the type thereof can be selected by one skilled in the art according to actual necessities and will not be limited here.
The at least one vibration part 103 is a vibration part in the prior art, and the type thereof can be selected by one skilled in the art according to actual necessities and will not be limited here. For example, the at least one vibration part 103 is preferably a rotor motor, a longitudinal linear motor or a transverse linear motor. In addition, the number of the at least one vibration part 103 may be one or more, which can be selected by one skilled in the art according to actual necessities and will not be limited here.
In a preferable embodiment, the number of vibration parts 103 is multiple, and the multiple vibration parts 103 comprise the same number of longitudinal linear motors and transverse linear motors, which are uniformly distributed in arrays on the electrical pulse module 20. This way of arrangement is to enable the multiple vibration parts 103 to apply longitudinal and transverse vibration to the electrical pulse module 20, so as to accurately control the predetermined frequency and predetermined amplitude of the electrical pulses output by the electrical pulse module 20.
It should be understood that one or more longitudinal linear motors can be provided in contact with the electrical pulse module 20 if it is required to apply only longitudinal vibration to the electrical pulse module 20 through the at least one vibration part 103, and one or more lateral linear motors can be provided in contact with the electrical pulse module 20 if it is required to apply only transverse vibration to the electrical pulse module 20 through the at least one vibration part 103.
In the present disclosure, as the number of the vibration parts 103 increases, the intensity (i.e., the amplitude) of the vibration applied to the electrical pulse module 20 also increases, namely, there are two ways of increasing intensity of the vibration applied to the electrical pulse module 20: one is to increase the vibration intensity applied to the electrical pulse module 20 through the driver module 102, and the other one is to increase the vibration intensity applied to the electrical pulse module 20 by providing a plurality of vibration parts 103. These two ways can be selected by one skilled in the art according to actual necessities, and will not be limited here.
The providing position of the vibration module 10 can be selected by one skilled in the art according to actual necessities, and will not be limited here. However, it must be sure that the vibration generated by the vibration module 10 can be applied to the electrical pulse module 20.
In an optional embodiment, as shown in
Specifically, if the vibration module 10 comprises a power module 101, a driver module 102 and at least one vibration part 103, any or more of the power module 101, the driver module 102 and the at least one vibration part 103 can be provided in direct or indirect contact with the electrical pulse module 20; however, it must be sure that the vibration generated by the at least one vibration part 103 can be applied to the electrical pulse module 20. Preferably, the at least one vibration part 103 is provided in direct or indirect contact with the electrical pulse module 20; moreover, in order to avoid conduction of the at least one vibration part 103 and the electrical pulse module 20, a transmission insulating part (not shown), which is used for transmitting vibration and avoiding conduction of the at least one vibration part 103 and the electrical pulse module 20, is further provided between the at least one vibration part 103 and the electrical pulse module 20. The transmission insulating part can be selected from insulating films in the prior art, such as polyvinyl chloride film, polyethylene film, polypropylene film, polystyrene film, etc.
In this example, as for the types of the power management module 1013, the driver module 102 and the at least one vibration part 103, one skilled in the art can select the power management chip, the driver chip and the vibration part in the prior art according to actual necessities, which will not be limited here. However, it should be noted that, when selecting types of the power management module 1013, the driver module 102 and the at least one vibration part 103, one skilled in the art should ensure that parameters of the three match with each other. For example, when the driving voltage of the driver module 102 is a DC voltage of 3.3 V, it is necessary that the power management module 1013 can output a DC voltage of 3.3 V. Similarly, when the starting voltage of the at least one vibration part 103 is a DC voltage of 2.3 V, it is necessary that the driver module 102 can output a DC voltage of 2.3 V.
The electrical pulse module 20 in Example 1 can be provided on an object in need of hair growing, such as a human body, an animal body and other organisms that need hair growing. When vibration is generated by the vibration module 10 or the mechanical energy from external environment is acted on the object in need of hair growing, reciprocating extrusion or loosening occurs between the electrical pulse module 20 and the object in need of hair growing, and relative motion is generated due to relative friction, and then is converted into electrical pulses and is output. However, it should be understood that the electrical pulse module 20 can also be provided on other objects than the object in need of hair growing. For example, the electrical pulse module 20 can be provided on a table, and vibration can be applied by the vibration module 10 or by hand tapping or the like, so that the electrical pulse module 20 generates electrical pulses.
Further, the electrical pulse module 20 may comprise a triboelectric generator, and/or a piezoelectric generator, and/or a pressure inductive cable based on a triboelectric generator and/or a piezoelectric generator, and/or a piezoelectric and triboelectric hybrid generator in the prior art. The type of the electrical pulse module 20 can be selected by one skilled in the art according to actual necessities, and will not be limited here.
